Iketani Tumbles Again

Barcelona Olympic silver-medal gymnast Iketani Yukio (33) has divorced again. His second marriage – his wife Kumiko is 12 years older – is said to have come to an end in mid August. The couple ran a sports club that made ful use of the former athlete’s name value, and it’s unclear how that business will be affected. Iketani retired from sports after his Olympic success and finished his studies at university. The following year he became an all-round TV personality and developed something of a reputation as a ladies’ man. In 1997 he married a former member of the GiriGiri Girls glamour quartet and they had a child. But in 1999 he was caught having an affair and his marriage was over. The cause of his latest breakup is not known but is suspected to be of a similar nature.
